Given the importance of the issue on which we have tabled our amendment - that is, the constitutional arrangements for selections - our leader has deferred mentioning the appalling revelations about the Taoiseach. We cannot let the day go by without mentioning them, as people on the street are discussing them. When I spoke with people at football matches yesterday, we did not discuss the abolition of the Seanad nor the abortion legislation. We discussed the Taoiseach. He has been caught. His hand is in the till.

Stop.

Fairy tales.

He has been caught.

Has the Senator a question for the Leader?

Is there any possibility that the Leader will arrange for the Taoiseach to attend this House in the dying days of the term to explain-----

I hope the Senator can back up those allegations.

Senator O'Sullivan without interruption.

-----exactly what he meant by the "axis of collusion".

The Senator means for the Taoiseach to explain himself to Fianna Fáil.

Senator O'Sullivan without interruption.

Without interruption, I hope. I keep getting interrupted-----

This is a joke.

Has Senator O'Sullivan a question for the Leader?

-----by the not-so-Independent, quasi-Fine Gael group. The Leader should ask the Taoiseach to explain himself to the Seanad.

Hear, hear.

On a point of order-----

Independent Fine Gael.

What is the point of order?

This is the Senator's 16th point of order.

Senator O'Donnell on a point of order. I hope she is not wasting time on the Order of Business.

Will Senator O'Sullivan take that back? The Taoiseach does not have his hand in any till. To what till was the Senator referring?

Has Senator O'Donnell a point of order?

Yes, I do. I would like the Senator to retract his-----

What is it?

I am trying to tell you. I would like the Senator to explain exactly what till he believes the Taoiseach has his hand in. That was quite an accusation.

It is.

On a point of order, would-----

No, excuse me. Would Senator O'Sullivan please answer that?

I am happy to answer the Leader. Every schoolboy knows the expression.

Senator O'Sullivan has spoken already.

If one's hand is in the till, it means one has been caught red-handed doing something.

On a point of order, the Seanad office should give Senator O'Donnell a copy of the Standing Orders-----

That is not a point of order.

-----to stop her raising points of order every time. She should read them to understand the procedures of this House.
